My research focuses on translational oncology and biopharmaceutical development, with a focus on advanced therapeutic modalities for malignant tumors. I engineer and evaluate lentiviral vector-based gene therapies in various in vitro and in vivo models. My work also spans targeted gene delivery, anti-cancer immunotherapy, investigation of cell death mechanism and intracellular trafficking relevant to biopharmaceutical optimization. Affiliated with the Department of Pharmacy at Nord University and the Institute of Biomedicine at the University of Bergen, I conduct internationally collaborative, preclinical research aimed at advancing novel gene medicines toward clinical translation.
